Class DecimateTinNodes

      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.analyst3dtools.DecimateTinNodes

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class DecimateTinNodes
extends AbstractGPTool

Produces a TIN that is a generalized version of another. A subset of nodes from an input TIN is selected to produce the new TIN. The Decimate TIN Nodes tool is contained in the 3D Analyst Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• When using the Z Tolerance option the vertical tolerance you specify should be given in the Z units of the input TIN.
• When using this tool via the command line the syntax of the decimation is not obvious because it has two potential usages. When you reach this argument on the command line you can right-click the mouse and choose "Insert Variable". A dialog box will pop up from which you interactively set values. These will be used to define a variable which is then substituted into the command line for you.

Constructor Detail

DecimateTinNodes

public DecimateTinNodes()

Creates the Decimate TIN Nodes tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

DecimateTinNodes

public DecimateTinNodes(Object inTin,
                        Object outTin,
                        Object method)

Creates the Decimate TIN Nodes tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inTin - the input TIN.

outTin - the generalized output TIN.

method - the decimation method may be based on ZTOLERANCE in which case the generalization produces an output TIN that's within a known vertical accuracy of the input, or COUNT, in which case the node count of the output TIN is constrained to a size limit.
